| [National Pulse] An Asia Society effort — advised by several Chinese Communist Party-linked individuals — has partnered with schools across the U.S. to shape curricula and teaching faculty to become consistent with a "social justice" approach to education that encourages "teaching activism" in favor of left-wing causes such as "equity," "globalism," and "unraveling systemic racism." Based in the U.S., the Asia Society describes its mission as "preparing Asians and Americans for a shared future" and is favored by current and former high-level Chinese Communist Party officials. The group’s Center For Global Education outlines its mission as "transforming education to build a more just and equal society" and partners with schools and school districts throughout the U.S. to do so. The center is expected to reach 4,000,000 students and 100,000 educators through various partnerships including dictating curricula and establishing schools alongside the Department of Education in states such as Ohio and Colorado. Serving on the center’s board, however, are several Chinese Communist Party apparatchiks. The co-chair of the effort, Yu Lizhong, is the former president of two Chinese Communist Party-run universities and has held leadership roles at several state-run groups: The map below demonstrates the coast-to-coast reach of the program, which arose out of a 2015 agreement between Asia Society President and CEO Josette Sheeran and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Director-General Irina Bokova. The United Nations and Chinese Communist Party-backed effort has led to the adoption of "social justice" teaching methods, as outlined in a 2018 curricula guide published by the Asia Society. The document also reveals how this ideology has even permeated the hiring process for teachers, as Denver Center for International Studies (DCIS) principal Vanessa Acevedo admits to hiring people who are "committed to social justice and equity": The document also reveals how this ideology has even permeated the hiring process for teachers, as Denver Center for International Studies (DCIS) principal Vanessa Acevedo admits to hiring people who are "committed to social justice and equity": Teachers also inform students how to "critically examine issues such as poverty, trade, migration, inequality, environmental justice, conflict, cultural differences, and stereotypes" — even North Korea. |

| #1 “When the history of NYU Shanghai is written, one name will be on almost every page: Yu Lizhong,” ]Communist aparatchik from his youth] said Andrew Hamilton, president of New York University. “Over his tenure as chancellor, Chancellor Yu’s leadership has enabled NYU Shanghai to blossom into a vibrant success, with award-winning faculty and students, research centers and curricular innovations that benefit the entire NYU ecosystem, and an atmosphere of dynamism and inclusion that blends the best attributes of China, the United States, and all of the nations represented on its campus into a true community. We will be forever grateful for his wisdom and leadership.” |
